Youth and the 2008 Election
Youth Service America recently launched a new website, ServiceVote, to serve as a hub of information for young people on the 2008 election. ServiceVote provides youth with news on the various races, candidates and defining issues. The website also provides space for youth to take action on issues that matter to them and allows them to post videos, images and audio files.
NBC News is giving students and teachers the chance to ask its political reporters questions about the 2008 presidential election on the website, HotChalk. Each Thursday, top political reporters, including Tim Russert, will provide a video answer to one question.
Note: This story originally appeared in the Afterschool Advocate (Vol. 9, Issue 2).
Personal note by Debra McLaughlin - For those of you who are working with older youth, you may be interested in this website and how they are engaging youth to become more responsible citizens.
